Believed in the company, but not so much anymore because of its mistreatment of employees

Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee

New York, New York, United States

September 13, 2023

Pros: Fast-paced, very smart coworkers, and overall, the opportunity to grow is quite amazing.

Cons: No 401k matching, no bonuses, and no compensation increase with promotions or title promotions. Long work hours. Life as a Forward Deployed Engineer can be technically unfulfilling. It took 2 years for a company-wide compensation review to happen, and only a fraction of the company got a raise then.

5.0

What you make out of it

January 11, 2025

Pros: You can choose to be as technical or nontechnical, as intense or chill, as rigorous or speedy as you want it to be. With some political know-how, the entire landscape becomes yours to navigate, and you can simply pick and choose what skills you want to grow.

Cons: You can get put into some really, really, really bad teams, and in that case, your technical skills will atrophy beyond recognition.

Great place to intern

Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Former Employee

October 2, 2015

Pros: Learned a lot, had a more meaningful project than most interns at other companies that I know. Met a lot of really smart people who I will be sure to keep in touch with. Integrated quickly into my team. Learned about new verticals. Lots of cool benefits and events.

Cons: Worked hard and was exhausted at times. This wasn't a summer vacation. Some internal documentation could have been better, making it easier to get up to speed on projects.
